I want to start by saying I am a smoker, not heavy but I do have at least 5 cigarettes a day.
My daughter has a medical condition which we go to Bristol children's hospital for a lot. After her treatments my husband will go get the car and which is about 5 mins away.
So after treatments, scans, tests etc dd is very very grumpy. There is a waiting area but it's filled with gift shop tat and dd will usually try and trash the shop (it's not her fault, she's going through a lot) so I usually stand outside the door, there is pretty stained glass, statue of Olympic Rings that she likes to look at and calms her.
Outside the hospital there is a smoking area behind a white line, signs clearly state no smoking on hospital grounds and a 5 metre walk the white line for smokers starts.
What irritates me is that people stand right outside the door and light up and then smoke, I walk away which leaves dd screaming she can't see the stained glass etc but I won't have her near smoke.
Wibu to point out to smokers who do this that they should be behind the white line?
Dd has 4 consultant apps, 1 operation and 1 scan next week and they are all on different days so I'm going to be spending a lot of time there.
Personally I want to tell them what selfish people they are smoking in the doorway of a children's hospital but I'm too polite
